In the unlikely event of a failure of the handset control, it is possible that the electric
ram either continues to lift or continues to lower. This may be overridden by
pressing the Emergency stop button to stop the ram. To re-set the button after it has
been pressed, simply twist it slightly clockwise and the button will spring outwards

The control box has been specially developed for patient hoists and the complete
system is medically approved and contains a series of features that meet the
patients needs for a safe and comfortable transfer e.g. soft start function for raising
and lowering.
The control box has a built in charging system and so removes the issues of lost or
damaged chargers. To recharge the batteries the hoist is connected to the mains
via a mains lead that is made from a curly flex to give a greater length of cable
without the need for trailing cables on the floor. See section ‘Re-charging the
batteries’
The actuators for the raising / lowering and the leg spreading are connected using
jack plugs into the bottom of the control box..
0((
The LCD display has a range of options available and can be viewed during the
operation of the hoist.
By pressing the “UP” button on the handset the LCD display indicates the following:
(a) How many lifts the hoist has completed
(b) How many times the lift has been overloaded
(c) Service interval.
When the hoist is being used the LCD will also display the function ie raising,
lowering, opening &/or closing the legs and battery charge level. See photographs
on page 8.

The S-Series mobile hoist range has a foot bar situated at the rear of the base unit
to help facilitate the clearing of door thresholds and to help raise the front end when
loading the hoist into a vehicle for transport. The bar also protects the casing under
which the motor is situated that operates the leg opening mechanism. The bar has
a not slip surface to maintain grip whilst being used.

/?you should familiarise yourself with use of the hoist the proce-
dure for opening / closing the leg sections and raising and lowering the hoist, includ-
ing emergency stop/lower and raise functions. Appropriate training in lifting and
handling procedures should be undergone by any person operating a mobile hoist
or sling, for their own and the clients safety and comfort. These instructions are
designed to cover the method of using of the Freeway mobile rather than good
manual handling practice.

The legs on the base unit of the S-Series Mobile hoist are electrically operated. The
leg positioned is adjusted by pressing the appropriate button on the handset.
Hoisting manoeuvres can be completed with the legs in any position.
:
1. Position person to be lifted with a suitable sling. Instructions should be taken in
the fitting of slings to ensure maximum safety and comfort.
%%@%% %%

2. Select hoist leg position required. Position hoist near person to be lifted It is
recommended to position the hoist on a slight angle to prohibit legs hitting the
mast / actuator. Assuming you are lifting on a level surface “never“ use the
brakes on the hoist. This allows the hoist to align its self before lifting. Ensure
ALL sling loops are attached over the safety hooks on carry bar.

3. To raise a person press handset button marked with upward facing arrow.
When the sling straps become taut before the lift is commenced, check the
straps are secure in position over the hooks of the carry bar before continuing
the lift. When the desired height has been reached, release button and hoist
will stop.
4. When moving a person use the mast push handle and walk with the hoist
NEVER pull or twist at arms length, this can cause injury to the carer.
5. When desired position is reached, position the hoist on a slight angle ready for
lowering.
6. To a lower person, press and hold handset button marked with downward
facing arrow and hoist will descend. When you have reached desired level,
simply release button and hoist will stop in that position.

An audible warning will sound when the batteries need charging and the LCD at the
bottom of the control box will display battery empty. A fully charged hoist will
display a full battery. Do not continue to use the hoist beyond the lifting operation in
progress at the time the warning first sounds.
The batteries are located within the power pack. They are charged through a socket
connected to the base of the control unit. When charging is required, the mains lead
is plugged into a wall outlet and the socket into the base of the control box.
3#.8Emergency Stop Button must be in ‘OUT’ position when charging
1. Fit the mains power lead to the socket in the base of the control unit
2. Plug the charged main plug into a suitable mains outlet and switch the main
supply ON
3. The ‘ON’ light on the control box will be green to show that the power is reaching
the control box. The ‘Charge’ light will illuminate amber initially to show that the
batteries are receiving a charge.
4. The amber light will go out once the batteries are fully charged.
Charging is automatic and will fully charge the batteries over a period of eight to
twelve hours
3#.8Batteries should be kept on charge when hoist is not in general use. This ensures ready
availability of hoist and prolongs battery life. The internal charger in the control box will not allow the
batteries to ‘overcharge’. In accordance with battery manufacturers recommendations, all batteries
should be fully charged for twenty four hours every four months if in storage or not in regular use.
DO NOT use the hoist when the mains lead is connected to the wall socket
DO NOT expose the battery or control box to water
Before using the hoist, switch OFF the mains supply and remove the plug from the
socket outlet. The charger lead can either be removed from the control box and
stored separately or left in situ on the hoist with the mains plug resting on the plug
bracket .

The S-series range of mobile hoists
benefit from the latest technology
available for use in patient hoists. The
handset operates 4 functions on the
hoist unit. They are:-
1. Raises the hoist
2. Lowers the hoist
3. Opens the legs on the base unit
4. Closes the legs on the base unit
The handset is attached to the control
box via a ‘curly’ flexible cable . The
‘curly’ flex is designed to give the
greatest number of options for carer
positioning without having a trailing
cable around the patient.
The handset also incorporates a hook
which gives the carer flexibility whilst
moving / positioning the patient.
Clear and easy to understand button
diagrams enable ease of use for the
caregiver.
"+%
On the boom of every hoist there is a sling sizing guide for the Prism Range of
slings. This facilitates easy identification of the available slings in a multi use
